I actually got Rosey as my tour guide through another tour company I contacted, who subcontracted me to her for my long weekend trip to the Yunnan province (Lijiang, Shaxi, Tiger Leaping Gorge, etc) . It was only after Rosey and I started touring together did I learn she had her own company. I am so lucky to have met her! And I regret not just starting with Rosey for the entire planning/execution of my trip. She's a bit modest in the description of her services above, as she is super organized and very very knowledgeable and well versed in the history of this region. She is flexible and quite patient, and her prices are very reasonable as well. She is a better high altitude hiker than me! Her English is super strong, and she literally has grown up in the hospitality industry. I had a great time with her visiting the old villages of the Bai, Lejiang, and Shuhe. We also saw several beautiful Buddhist temples, one even had monkeys.

The main attraction of my visit was hiking in Tiger Leaping Gorge. We started from Qiaotou village to Naxi Family Guest House (that was the killer day of hiking surprisingly), then from Naxi to Halfway Guest House the 2nd day, counting all 28 of the famous turns on that day of hiking. It was incredible. Snow Mountain and Jade Dragon Mountain and the gorge below are stunning. I am so glad I found this little slice of heaven in China. That's all I had time to do so I plan to go back and complete the remainder of the hike with Rosey next time I am in China. (I go for work so that's not an impossible task.)

I didn't receive much information from the company I paid to help me prepare and pack properly for this trip. Rosey, I now know, is right there, local, and would have been more accessible for questions and would have given me a detailed itinerary beforehand as well. All worked out very well for my long weekend getaway to the Tiger Leaping Gorge area, but I owe that to Rosey who is such an expert tour guide in this region. I can't recommend her enough! Definitely contact Rosey for your trip to this region!

I paid attention to the ranking on this site and in my Google search to chose my tour company. Let this be good the proof that the best person for the job is not necessarily the top person on the list. Rosey works hard for her clients, but it seems challenging to move up in the rankings of these tour company reviews. More people who have toured with Rosey need to speak up here. Read less

We booked Rosey + car and driver for 4 days and had an excellent time in Yunnan thanks to her guidance and kindness.
She picked us up in Dali airport (she was there one hour before just in case) and organized the visits of Dali, Lijiang and finally Shangri-La, including Jade Dragon mountain and Leaping Tiger Gorge (her home village) on the way. She proposed many things to visit and was also very attentive to our wishes. We had booked hotels by ourselves through booking.com (our choice) but we were very fortunate to have her to bring us there, which often required calling the hotel to get better directions than what was available on booking.com (which would have been very difficult without speaking Chinese).
Her English is really good enough, and exchanges with her were very easy and relaxed. We had interesting explanations and answers to all of our questions, she knows the country really well. I really recommend her as a guide, probably one the best choices in upper Yunnan. We were three middle aged French people, but I think she'd be fine for any type of group, she is very professional.

We booked Rosey for a tour of Lijiang, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Shangri La and Meili Snow Mountain. I would thoroughly recommend Rosey - nothing was too much trouble. She is very knowledgeable having grown up in this area and she was patient and informative at every step of the trip. We would not have been able to do the trip without Rosey. She helped us with language everywhere we went, organised amazing lunches and knew exactly where the best spots for taking photographs were. Rosey's Driver Mark was very safe and reliable, knowing the roads extremely well and managing the snow and ice with skill - his many years of experience of driving the roads in the winter were very apparent, and appreciated! Rosey took us to places we never would have seen and was all round the best possible guide we could have wished for. She organised the perfect itinerary, as well as all passes and permits etc for all sights and parks. Even in the months of planning leading up to the trip she was so responsive to answer any questions I had by email. I could not recommend Rosey highly enough. Neil C, Hong Kong

I booked Rosey for three days during my trip to Yunnan Province. Best decision I ever made!  
Rosey planned an itinerary that included both Lijiang and Shangri-La and each day was chock full of activities. I never knew we could fit so much into each day, from horseback riding to boating to sightseeing to hiking. I was happily exhausted every night (though I don't believe Rosey even broke a sweat!)  As a solo out-of-shape traveler, I must say Rosey was very patient and accommodating, moving as slowly as I required. She is very friendly and professional and I felt I was in very good hands!  
If you book her services in Shangri-La, please ask her to take you to a restaurant there (she knows the one) which possibly has the best Chinese food you've ever tasted in your life!!  Also, she took me to her family's guesthouse in Tiger Leaping Gorge for lunch one day, and the food was also outstanding.  I had a hamburger which was like no other hamburger I had ever eaten, but delicious!!  Honestly I was planning to order something Chinese but a couple of Austrian hikers I met there were raving about it so much I had to try it. :) Happy I did!  
Rosey's driver was also friendly and competent, though he spoke no English. Rosey's English, however, is very fluent and she is very knowledgeable.  Yunnan must be one of the most beautiful places on earth, and Rosey sure showed it off to its greatest advantage!  Thank you, Rosey!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
